Fans Are Driving Us On - Thorn

Last updated : 30 December 2011 By Covsupport News Service

Coventry City manager Andy Thorn has said the City support at matches is driving the players on.

Speaking to the CT, Thorn said:“It’s important that we build on the Bristol win, “We weren’t at it in the first half but we dug ourselves out and performed really well in the second.

“And I have got to say the fans getting behind us really lifted the players after the break and made a massive difference.

“I want to continue from where our second half performance left off because the atmosphere was fantastic and I’d like that again tomorrow against Brighton.

“At one point near the end on Monday Conor Thomas picked the ball up deep in our own half and near enough everyone in the stadium was urging him to run and run.

“He went all the way to the other end of the pitch and it was as if they blowing him along.

“Stuff like that is fantastic and if we can get that again then I am sure it will help drive the boys on and give them great encouragement.

“It is my job to get the team ready and up for it and with the supporters driving us on I don’t see why we can’t go on and win again.

"We have got to come out of the blocks flying and give the fans a reason to get behind us.”
